Robin built us a door/wall between the bedroom and the bathroom. It took 3.5 days (including the necessary drying time). We were impressed by the quality of his framing. He had great judgement about where to place the door. He relocated the recessed lights in order to center them in the newly created hallway. Robin made sure that the molding, wall texture, door and door knobs would match our existing stuff. I cannot wait to hire Robin back to replace our carpets with hardwood flooring.

I am a general contractor who has used many flooring companies. These guys did all the wood laminate flooring on our multi unit project. I was really impressed with their ability to level the subfloor throughout the unit which was 1-1/2" out of level in some areas! They gave me an extremely reasonable rate and got the project complete in 2 days! I was really impressed with the outcome and would recommend them to anyone.

Daniel is a great business man and a highly skilled worker. He installed laminate flooring in two homes for me in two days. His quote for labor was extremely competitive and he stayed in constant contact without going over board. We purchased the materials on our own and got a great close out price and he was willing to quote on just the labor. This is a company you should invest in. He may look young but he’s been working on flooring since he was 17 and built his own business starting 3 yrs ago.He’s motivated by a deep love for his family and is willing to work very hard to provide for them with integrity. I will definitely use Calderon Flooring again!!!

We couldn't be happier with the job they did. The tile looks great and there attention to detail is something you just don't see very often. You can tell that they really take pride in there work. We where kept in the loop every step of the process. They showed up when they said they would and completed the job in a timely manner. We will be recommended them to our friends and we will be using them for all of our tile/flooring needs in the future.

After purchasing my first fixer-upper home, I went hunting for the right people to do the right work on my home.
I read some great reviews about American Castle's work, so I decided to give them a call and get a quote.
Pre-work:
Mike came out and right off the bat I felt very comfortable with him, he is both personable and professional. He listened to my needs and provided me with all the information and recommendations to revamp my home.
During work:
A couple of words that describe my experience with American Castle as the job was in motion are efficient and CLEAN! Mike and his crew were punctual and effective in hitting their own set deadlines. I got exactly what I was promised in terms of due dates, quality of product and professionalism of work. My trust in them was immediate and nothing beat the peace of mind that I had knowing that my home is in good hands.
Post-work:
PERFECTION! I loved the home the day I bought it, but now, I'm madly in love with it. Gorgeous work on the cabinets, modern looks in the bathrooms and the wood flooring made my home look like a million dollars! Mike and his crew left the job site cleaner than they found it, I was charged fairly and left with a great taste of this company. The detail in their work is what stood out the most to me.
Very grateful for Mike and the American Castle crew, they will always be my only go to company for anything I need repaired or done at home, they should be yours too!

I had him come to remove a ceiling fan and install a new ceiling fan and wall switch. Because did such a nice job, I had him remove and install two bath faucets one of which needed more repair than I thought. He also repaired my tub faucet which I knew needed lots of work. If I need anymore repairs, I will definitely call him.

Jordan went above and beyond our expectations. We had the inside of our house painted, new electrical plugs and outlets, new baseboards, and wood tile installed. We had many problems arise in our house with our concrete slab. He went out of his way for us to get it leveled and fixed right. Therefore, my tile floor turned out leveled, perfect, and not bumpy. He is a man of his word which is hard to find these days. I will hire him again. Thank you to Jordan and all his employees. We love our new home!

Edwin was prompt to answer to my request for an installation of a new carpet. He came that same weekend to do an estimation, take some measurements, and give his recommendation which was very catered to my needs of budget friendly and quick turnaround! I highly recommend working with Edwin as he is very professional and skilled/knowledgeable in his craft.

We are very pleased with our home remodel done by JC Builders & Design! Joe and his team completed all new flooring, paint, light fixtures, baseboards, and installation of 5 ceiling fans. All finished work is of highest quality. JC Builders & Design responded quickly to all inquiries, and were very thorough. Work progressed steadily from day 1, and the whole project was completed on time. We even added a couple of items, and those were also completed on time. We love our "new" house and recommend JC Builder & Design to all of of our neighbors and friends.

We decided to install hardwood floor in all of the down stairs and tiles in bathrooms. We consider 5 local reputable flooring companies and out of these five companies "Hardwood and Tile Discounters" were the most professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. Their price very good. They delivered a good quality workmanship, and they warranty their work. I have recommend them to some of my relatives, and they have had similar experience. So i strongly recommend Hardwood and Tile Discounters

Alfred's team was great to work with. They were quick and professional and were amenable to changes we had. He initially said the floors would take 4 days and the team only needed 3. Would recommend him and his team for any floor install needs! We had nasty carpet and laminate throughout the house and the new floors look amazing!

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How long does it take to install a hardwood floor?

Hardwood floor installation can take anywhere from a few days to more than two weeks, depending on demolition, wood type, the condition of your subfloor, total square footage of the project, and installation method. Demolition is necessary if you have existing flooring you want to replace with hardwood floors. New-construction homes do not require this step, as the subfloor is primed and ready for floor installation. During demolition, the flooring crew may find that your subfloor has damaged wood, uneven surfaces or other problems that must be addressed before the new wood can be laid down. Crews may charge on an hourly rate for subfloor repair, and the work can take a few hours to several days, depending on what’s hiding underneath your floor. The wood for your new floor generally arrives a few days before any work begins. This allows the wood to acclimate to the relative humidity in your house, which prevents it from shrinking or expanding after installation and causing gaps or buckling. The actual wood installation may take several days or more, depending on the size of your home and what type of custom cutting and designs are desired. If your flooring is not prefinished, the unfinished wood must then be sanded and stained in the home to treat and protect your new investment. Typically, stain takes a full day to dry, and multiple coats are applied. Baseboards and trim must also be installed. With all these variables at play, you can see why it’s important for a wood installation pro to provide an estimate only after seeing your home.

How much does it cost to install flooring?

On average, Thumbtack customers nationwide pay $5,500 for floor installation. The cost can range much lower or higher depending on the type of flooring you select (laminate is far less expensive than exotic hardwood), the square footage of the project, and other important variables like demolition and repair work needed. Here are some examples of average floor installation cost:

How much does it cost to install hardwood floors?

The cost of hardwood floors will depend primarily on the total square footage of flooring, the type of wood you select, the cost of labor in your region, and any preparation or repair work that needs to take place before installation. Selecting exotic woods, such as teak, will result in a higher cost for the project than a more affordable wood such as oak. The national average cost of hardwood floor installation is $5,750. Here are some examples of different woods and their average costs; actual costs will vary depending on the factors listed above.

Residential installation, total project cost: ~ $2,400 with five days of labor.

¾-inch dark stained maple installed on top of new concrete in three rooms, a hallways, and a staircase.

Cost for total project: ~$3.87 per square foot.

How much are oak hardwood floors?

Installing oak hardwood floors can add value and beauty to your home. The cost of hardwood floors is typically based on the overall square footage of your new floor, the type of oak you select, any repair work your subfloor requires prior to installation, and any demolition costs to remove your old flooring. Other factors that will affect your total cost can include the regional cost of labor and business overhead of your flooring company.

A flooring installation company may charge $3 per square foot for standard installation. For hand-scraped (higher-end) ¾-inch oak planks, the cost is approximately $7 per square foot, for a total cost per square foot of about $10 as long as no repair work is required. Standard oak planks are available from big-box stores for as low as $3 per square foot, so the quality of oak you want will affect your total project cost.
